What mixes with oxygen to form water?
When Hydrogen mixes with Oxygen it forms water!!
The gas that causes rock containing iron to oxidize is what?

What type of reaction occurs when iron mixes with oxygen?
it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
What combines with the iron nails or iron bars?

What rock has oxygen silicon aluminum iron calcium sodium potassium magnesium and titanium in it?
The mantle has oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and titanium in it.
According to the precambrian rock record much of earth's first free oxygen combined with what?
Iron
What evidence points to the date of the appearance of the first oxygen-producing organisms?
iron oxides in rock
How does oxygen cause weathering?
iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water in a process called oxidation. the product of oxidation is rust. rock that contains iron also oxidizes, or rust. rust makes rock soft and crumbly and gives it a red or brown color.
Rate of oxidation of iron in sedimentary rock?
Oxidation of iron in any rock is a very rapid process resulting from exposure of the pure iron within the rock to free oxygen. The red iron oxide that we see in sedimentary rocks today was formed millions of years ago during oxygenation events.
How does oxygen causes chemical weathering?
iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water in a process called oxidation. the product of oxidation is rust. rock that contains iron also oxidizes, or rust. rust makes rock soft and crumbly and gives it a red or brown color.
What would cause a rock that contains iron to turn reddish brown?
Rust, the brownish red powder on iron, is formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. The reactants are oxygen and iron the products are oxidation, carbon dioxide and water
